— From our Hardblogging friendsProducer Brooke Brower, blogging from inside the hall, says that mumbling ensued in the crowd as candidates answered the question about who has ever had a gun in the house. "Richardson, Biden and Dodd quickly raised their hands, but a few seconds passed before Gravel and Kucinich raised theirs." Brower also points out that Gravel is prompting some in the audience to talk among themselves.

Joe Scarborough is drawn to Kucinich's statement on opposing the war while funding it is impossible. "That shot at Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama may not win Kucinich any votes, but it is sure to energize the Democratic base."
